Multidisciplinary approach to sea and maritime studies & RDI

A multidisciplinary approach to sea and maritime studies and RDI at Novia University of Applied Sciences

Our multidisciplinary and agile expertise on safe and sustainable shipping, maritime operations, technologies and simulation know-how together with stakeholders, create solutions that prevent accidents, while we also strive to reduce environmental impact of shipping at the same time. By combining expertise within the well-known and highly relevant fields of sustainable energy solutions and environmental technology with emerging and new technologies within intelligent systems, we strive to provide sustainable technological solutions even broader. Natural resources are the foundation of human society, is non-negotiable and a generational priority. Coastal areas worldwide are therefore special in many respects, as they are rich in biodiversity and are continuously influenced by the proximity of land and water. We aim to create systematic change towards resilient and regenerative coastal areas by co-creating knowledge and communication, whilst working in collaboration with local communities, all over the world.

All the universities in the Turku region (University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, Turku University of Applied Sciences and Novia University of Applied Sciences) have defined the Sea and Maritime issues as a strategic area, and thus the universities also collaborate in various projects and actions pertaining to this area. In addition to this the universities operate within the Turku Region Universities EU network (TRUEnet) with the aim to strengthen their collaboration and visibility on the EU level.
